7. ENSAR (European Nuclear Structure and Application Research) 7 The aim of Integrated Activities in FP7 is to improve the access of European Researchers to facilities which are not in their country of Origin and to increase the output of these facilities. This is done through 3 types of work packages:  Trans-national access (TNA)  Networks (NA): The EURISOL-NET Network in ENSAR (NA3,WP3, Y. Blumenfeld leader) – Task 1 : Coordination of R&D (Y. Kadi leader): First workshop at CERN 27-28 June 2011 – Task 2: Physics and Instrumentation (A. Bonaccorso leader)  Joint research activities (JRA) : ACTILAB (JRA2/WP8, Thierry Stora (EN) Leader). Improvement of Actinide target technology for ISOL facilities. PREMASS (JRA3/WP9) coordinated by Ari Jokinen (JYFL Finland) Task. Improvement of beam purity and emittance in ISOL facilities. Valentin Fedosseev (EN) leads a task ENSAR started on Sept. 1, till August 31 st, 2014. Discussion of prolongation due to the late start of FP8, Horizon 2020 Y.B. > M.J.G.

10. TNA Summary June 2013 10 GANIL We will start operations in July and do plan to use all of our remaining TNA budget. For the AGATA part of our budget it would be beneficial to have an extension of at least 6 months GSI Conclusion: potentially ~50 kEuros of the TNA money cannot be spend. LNS+Legnaro (INFN) In principle used of all money JYFL & ALTO & ISOLDE Ready for offering more access. T&S funds transferred from others are welcome KVI we will probably NOT exhaust the budget for travel and subsistence.

18. ISOLDE Collaboration Loan In Our Meeting in January we agree to ask for a Loan of 700.000 CHF to complete Phase I of the HIE-ISOLDE project A memorandum was presented by Sergio Bertolucci, Director of Research, to the Director of Administration and Infrastructure, Sigur Lettow in February. With the main request: “Such a loan would be monitored regularly by the ISOLDE Physics Group leader and the Chairperson of the ISOLDE Collaboration Committee (ISCC) reporting to the ISCC 3 times a year, and any other reporting requested by the Director of Administration. The loan would be repaid to CERN between 2016 and 2020 “ May 15, 2013: Mr Lettow agreed to this loan. CERN cannot grant a loan to ISOLDE based on a memorandum, a kind of a loan contract needs to be issued and signed by both parties: CERN and ISOLDE. We have signed such a contract And an account with the money created. 18
